Our visit to El Cielo in Cozumel was absolutely incredible! The turquoise waters are just as beautiful as everyone says, it’s like stepping into a tropical paradise. We had the best time on the boat tour, exploring the crystal clear waters and amazing marine life. The water was calm, warm, and inviting, perfect for swimming and relaxing. The tour itself was great, with water and drinks aboard. The ceviche and chips were delicious and hit the spot at the perfect moment. Everything was well organized, making for a enjoyable day on the water. One of the highlights was swimming with the stingrays, such an incredible experience! We also got up close with sea stars, which was a real treat. The party ambiance on the boat made the experience even more fun, with music and great vibe, shut out to our Captain and crew, they were very knowledgeable,fun and friendly. The kids absolutely loved it, they had an amazing time swimming, exploring, and interacting with the marine life. It was the perfect family adventure! If you’re looking for an amazing day out on the water, El Cielo is definitely a must-do in Cozumel. The ferry ride from Playa del Carmen was good and comfortable. A great experience that we won’t forget.Highly recommended!

The place is a paradise. Shallow, super clear water with turquoise color, white sand at the bottom. There are stingrays going around and you can see also starfish from El Cielo before the boats stops here at El Cielito. It a picture perfect place to take selfies or just landscape photos, though make sure to enjoy the scenery, the water and experience. I think this is the best water in all Cancun/Riviera Maya/Cozumel area. Surely the experience will vary depending on the tour company you book, but the experience at location should be the same for at tour booking.

Your boat tour will most likely bring you here. This beach is beautiful. The water is crystal clear full of sea life. Be respectful and take your trash with you.

We loved this beach. We booked a snorkeling package via a catamaran from Playa del Carmen. We got to see stingrays and star fish.

Great beach. One of the best in Cozumel. If you come in the morning, you are almost alone at the beach. Absolutely fantastic. The restaurant and the drinks at the beach are a little overpriced. But the beach is great.

Yes, it is heaven! I knew what it looked like. I'd seen the pictures. BUT when I got there I was speechless. This is a must-go if you are visiting Cozumel.

We really enjoyed the tour. We decided not to snorkel.. but we brought our own beer and used their ice coolers. They did offer us two beers at the end. But the beautiful colors of the water was just awesome. It was fun watching everyone else snorkeling and then we got out of the beach for the little beach party. I’d go again.
